Training in Christianity

In this work, Kierkegaard explores the critical distinction between the essence of Christianity and the institutional practices of Christendom. He critiques the official church for its divergence from authentic Christian principles, emphasizing the need for a deeper, personal faith that transcends societal norms and religious formalism. Through this analysis, he advocates for a return to the core teachings of Christ, challenging readers to reflect on their spiritual beliefs and the true nature of their relationship with faith.
